EU Launches Investigations Into Google, Meta & TikTok Over AI and Data Rules

Brussels / Europe – The European Union has opened fresh investigations into major tech giants, including Google, Meta, and TikTok, over alleged violations of data privacy and AI regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

EU regulators are particularly focused on how these companies manage AI-driven content moderation, user data, and algorithmic transparency. The move comes amid growing public concern about AI ethics, misinformation, and online privacy.

Companies under investigation have pledged cooperation but warn that regulations differ globally and could affect operations across Europe.

Why It Matters:
This could reshape global tech regulation and set a precedent for how emerging markets—including African nations—manage Big Tech’s presence and AI deployment.
